Interview with the Vampire 1x7 'The Thing Lay Still' FINALE First Reaction!! 

See you guys soon for Season 2! FULL WATCHALONGS: www.patreon.com/ReelTimeYT/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=IWTV

notice that the bookshelves are all hanging from the ceiling, and Louis can't levitate yet so Armand basically controls what he can or can't read. it's just a teaser for their relationship.

I saw someone once say Louis and Armand standing side-by-side at the end and Louis saying he was the love of his life reminded them of a girl bringing home a dude to meet her parents trying to convince them and herself what she was saying was true.

I love Daniel. He just calls Louis out on his bs EVERY. TIME.

One of my favorite types of media is unreliable storytelling and this is a prime example. One person with clear trauma and depressive episodes is telling a story and we the viewers are supposed to take it as fact. But the best part is Daniel is there to serve as the party who doubts these stories so it’s so important to have him be there!

Louis with his hostage face at the end always cracks me up. Louis is not good at choosing men 😂 you guys should watch the season 2 trailer

Bailey will be missed, but from the interviews it’s clear the new Claudia actress understands her character very well and based off of the clips she’s gonna deliver

The story Lestat told about his maker and how he got turned is sadly true. In the book it is even more volatile and violent.

Louis said Armand was the love of his life with his whole chest 😂😂😂. Louis can be so full of shit sometimes I feel so badly for Claudia she’s caught in between two just broken people . I feel like Lestat is just a full blown narcissist whilst Louis suffers from victim mentality and delusion.

Louis is what we called an Unreliable Narrator. More will be revealed in Season 2 obviously. You guys are lucky you don't have to wait too long. Definitely check out the trailers that they released.

They hinted at the 'Unreliable Narrator ' trope throughout the show but it's always fun to watch people realize that Louis has been sanatizing the truth.

s2 is insane so far, after every episode i'm like "this one's the best one yet". the unreliability is so delicious

Lestat didn't kill his maker, Magnus just up and lit himself on fire not long after his creation, so what Lestat said was all true.

Rashid = Armand Armand = Louis new lover Louis new lover = More abuse

The first "Claudia," Bailey Bass, left the show as she is under contract with director James Cameron for the "Avatar" films. The new "Claudia," will be played by British actress Delainey Hayles. I saw the Season 2 trailers, and she delivers.

Claudia is diabolical. I like how Daniel is challenging Louis’ story telling. The actress was busy so we get a recast for season 2.

I hope they do another Reaction, but to the 'EXTENDED LOOK AT SEASON 2' teaser. It's only 3 minutes long but it's intense. And as for 'World Building' - Anne Rice created a WHOLE MYTHOLOGY! I'm gonna throw a few words out to tease the Seasons ahead; and those who know, will know: Theatre. Dollmaker. Rockstar. Italy. Painter. Egypt. Statues. Secret Society. Bikers. Witches. Twins. Demon. Queen.

cant wait for season 2 in May

I’m so glad you guys did this show and got the reactions out so quick the acting was so good throughout the armand reveal and the writing In general can’t wait for s2 and your reactions

It’s wild seeing people watch this with no background on the story. It’s a total delight!

The beauty of this adaptation vs books is that Anne didnt know that she would eventually write what she did. This series adds lore early on that would not have been possible with the books since it did not exist yet.

The newspaper cuts in the end mention the "Théâtre des Vampires", which will be very important in the next season.

If the show lasts and keeps following the novel series, you'll get a lot more world building and a lot of your questions will be answered. I know AMC is trying to push the Anne Rice Universe -- they made a different show based on another one of her series -- and this show seemed to gain a lot of steam lately from word-of-mouth. I really hope it sticks around. I'd love to see the first six books at a minimum in a television format.

Captions ruined that whisper moment in the ball😭

Rashid/Armand has the cloud gift as well as the ability to mess with people's memories. I think Louis caught on that his memories were off and summoned Daniel. I think Louis is using Daniel to help him remember the truth. Armand was behind what happened to Claudia, so that he can have Louis to himself. The older vampires covet Louis because he was able to hold onto his humanity. Armand is so much worse than Lestat.

"Love of my life" Sure Louis, sure

Next season starts in May! So excited

I'm really excited to see Louis show off his powers more in season two 😭😭😭😭

YES!!! LET'S GOOOOO!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Edit after reaction: That was SO good! I loved how hyped you were about Claudia completely outplaying Lestat. I adore Bailey's delivery of the line: "Lestat, you must think me an idiot". So satisfying! There are fantastic teasers for season 2(second season out next month!). The Rolin Jones/London edit trailer is FANTASTIC! Like a mini movie in itself.

Season 1 was amazing…anxiously waiting and ready for season 2!!! 🙌🏻 LET’S GO!!!

Been great to hear your thoughts on S1, and I've really enjoyed seeing you become invested in this toxic trio of vamps! You're absolutely right about Louis being an unreliable narrator, and S2 will expand on and enrich us with more insight into their history even more! Here's hoping we get to see you post a reaction to the extended (Rolin Jones) trailer for S2 - because it definitely whets the appetite for what's to come! Great job, guys!

Binged yall S01 reactions to this- great reaction! Waiting on S2 now.

ahhhh cant wait to see yall react to season twoooo

Finally finished it! Such a good reaction. Loved watching this with you guys and cant wait for season 2

Please please please, react to the extended trailer to season 2! It's going to make you even more excited for it!

hey, season two is finally out, looking forward to see you guys reaction!!

So Armand is very powerful specifically with the Mind gift which is basically telepathy. In the books resistance to sunlight is reserved for Vampires over 1 thousand years old so this is a little bit of a departure from vampires Armand's age can due without a power boost from and Ancient. Lestat actually name dropped the first vampires in this episode "Those who must be Kept" which is a reference to the Egyptian Queen and King. Season 2 is going to be a wild ride because it takes place in Paris mostly where Louis met Armand who has an intense history with Lestat as well and keep in mind that Daniel also has history with Louis but specifically Armand.

poor daniel did not consent to be part of louis and armand's weird sexual vampire/human servant roleplay

Happy you guys reacted to this show! What a wild ride! Hope you guys watch season 2 when it premieres.

Hey guys. Season 2 will premiere on May 12 and consist of 8 episodes. It will tell the second half of the novel.

Season 2 is right around the corner 🙌🏾❤️

Season 1 was just the 1st half of the book. Season 2 will be the 2nd half, so you HAVE to watch. Please, please, please tho, stay clear of spoilers so that you will be surprised. That is 1/2 the fun.

I've been waiting for this series since a year before its' premiere. And I've watched just about every Reaction. And can honestly say this was my second favorite. But out of like over 10. I hope they do Season 2 as it airs!

Claudia is a genius!

I think it's a good idea for you guys to check out season 2 teasers and if possible react to them.Btw you are lucky some of Us die hard IWTV have been waiting for season 2 since 2022.

Things will get crazier next season with armand revelation, he's a big part of this whole mess lol, we will have a lot more vampires and a lot of glitched memory being revisited to uncover the truth. Not only from louis but from daniel too, even the recollection about the "real Claudia" will be challenged! memory is a monster!

WOO WOO been waiting for this to drop this afternoon. HERE WE GOOOOOOOO!!!!

You should watch the extended look for season 2, and season 2 trailer!

It's not so much that Louis is an unreliable narrator, but his perspective is the product of his two lifetimes of pain and abuse as a mortal and as Lestat's companion. Got to keep that in mind.

Sadly this will be the last of Claudia's actress, Bailey, she had scheduling conflicts and was recasted

If you aren’t aware of the interview with the vampire books or movie, the ending would be kind of lost on you or seem disappointing, but the fact that rashid was armand is a very very cool reveal

In this universe there is an immortality potion (the vampires are unaware of it). This may be a tongue-in-cheek reference to it for the fans.

Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Bryce! 🧛‍♀ Alexis Ostrander directed this finale. She also directed two episodes of MAYFAIR WITCHES (2023 through current) which you should really watch. It occurs within the same world as the Vampire Chronicles... with, eventually, some crossover characters.

You should react to the season 2 extended look trailer is wild!!!

Really enjoyed watching this series with you guys, thank you!

Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Interview With The Vampire!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

This was a fun journey, thanks guys! Can’t wait to watch the new season with you two!! ✌🏼

Great reaction!!!

This has been a fun watch, yinz 😊

I'm happy you liked it so much. Waiting of the second season coming in may

I can't wait for you guys to watch season 2, now that it's out!!

yoooo great season!!

Just In time for season 2 ❤ 🤗

Season 2 will be amazing. You will get to know more about Armand when Louis and Claudia "escape" to Paris. Lestat plays a big role in Season 2.

Awesome reactions to the series! 🦇 May 12 is the premiere of S2!! 🦇 It's gonna be wicked good!! 🦇

I've loved watching your reactions! You should totally react to the S2 trailers/teasers - they're SO good.

I would love to see you two react to the 1994 movie w/ Bratt Pitt and Tom Cruise as Louis and Lestat. Though it may spoil some things for S2 of this show, it is absolutely worth a watch (maybe for after S2 comes out.) Loved this reaction coming out as the same time as you are watching TVD, and I also wanted to throw out that What We Do in the Shadows is another FANTASTIC vampire-centric TV show that is sooo hilarious. I just know it would make a great reaction and would also love to see that on the channel at some point. Keep up the great work guys!

In the novels, 'Armand' was made when he was 16 years old, was Russian and had auburn hair. But both the original movie and this series make interesting modifications.

guys, you should react to the extended season 2 trailer 👀

Armand from the books is such an interesting character.

The new season is out!!

If you wanna get a good look and taste for Season 2 I recommend watching the extended look trailer(I can't include links RU-vid automatically deletes my comment if I try) but just search for the extended look trailer it will pop up. Season 2 premieres on May 12th not much long to go!!! welcome to the obsession and being hooked like the rest of us. Oh and fyi we do have a new actress for Claudia in Season 2. The original actress Bailey Bass had conflicts/commitments with the Avatar movies, and couldn't return to this show. But our replacement is Delainey Hayles she's a wonderful actress, and will do just fine as Claudia.

24:08 Season two is gonna be WILD. Armand...

Rashid gave us a few clues that he wasn't who he said he was! The one that stood out most to me was when referred to Dubai as a "child" hinting that he predates it! I personally believe that "Armond" is manipulating Louis and the situation in order to have Louis to himself!!!

Season 2 is going to be fireeeeeee!!!!!!! Pls react to season 2, base on the novel and the movie for that part, it will be great and you will love it.

Rob and Bryce, Armand was a character in the 1994 film of the same name. He was played by Antonio Banderas.

Season 2 is gonna be crazy

I can’t believe it’s already arrived in the last episode, this reaction went by so fast 😢

spoiler alert (?) season 2 potentially it's just sick how louis got out of one abusive relationship only to almost immediately find himself in another one 😭

Will you guys be reacting to Season 2 as well?

Louis's favorite pasttime is reading but ALL the books are kept on the ceiling and ONLY Rashid/Armand can fly, so he probably controls what Louis reads. Also I wonder if Rashid/Armand has power over Louis' mind because of the way Louis said "please stop" . Armand is probably the one who removed pages from Claudia's diary. Which is so sad because Louis has fallen into another toxic potentially abusive relationship. I hope we get to see Lestat in the present day next season. I'd like to hear his side of the story (although he lies a lot too) so I guess Louis and Lestat are both unreliable narrators. 😅

do you guys plan to react to season two? the first episodes are already out, it releases weekly and so far the episodes are so good as first season

I really hope S2 will lean more into Louis beeing an unreliable narator and revisit Claudia's last day as a human. Because the "Louis knight in shining armour" was something else for sure

Please watch the Extended Look for Season two 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 it's a great trailer!!!!

Series 2 has started

He did not kill his maker, his maker killed himself. You don’t gain gifts by killing your maker, you gain them the older you get.

Louis reminds me of women i know who pick the same type of toxic men over and over again🤦🏿‍♀️

I am debating whether I want to watch the movie or wait until I either finish the first book or the second season. I've already gotten spoilers via the comments on these videos. 🙄

Season 2 should go into the story of Armand and how he met Louis.

So Lestat is out of Louis' life but is Armand any better? 🤔 Usually when someone is a victim of abuse and they get out of that relationship, they're repeatedly drawn to other abusers. And abusers tend to have a knack for sniffing out people they can take advantage of.

Great reaction. But remember the first season was only 1/2 of the first book. Armand play a bigger role in the second part of the book. Once Louis and Claudia go to Europe. But humans and Vampires can definitely be "Unreliable Narrators". Especially Louis, being the most "humanlike of the Vampires". Lestat's own words. Thanks for the great reactions to this show. Season 2 is coming soon. Hope you react to it also.

I didn't read the books but i did see the movie and this was a helluva introduction to Armand. I can't wait for season 2. Are you guys going to watch the movie? You have to right?

you should watch a time called you!!! its a masterpiece

Y’all need to watch the movie.

Are you guys gonna react to season two?

Y'all should read the books. They're so different, but still a great examination of abusive relationships (though not as much physically as the show). They get WILD after this. Trust, all will be revealed... at least I hope so.

so Armand, like Lestat is way older than Louis obviously a more skilled vampire given that he can fly and is resistant to the sun and if you remember the library scene Louis mentions he really enjoys reading yet all the books are suspended in the air meaning they're not accesible to Louis snd how Armand describes their relationship as "taking care of him, making sure he doesn't harm himself" like obviously Louis is once again in a relationship with an extreme power play where he is once again the subservient one

24:22 This is a very important distinction. Louis account of this story is not entirely reliable

drinking from the dead would not actually kill the vampire but it would make them temporarily sick. And also stun the vampire and it would feel death all over again according to what I searched about ann rices vampires .

I wanted to ask if y'all have or plan to watch one of my FAV SHOWS Buffy The Vampire Slayer. That's my age range of people and I love watching it. One of my top 5 shows of all time.
